0.20 Devlog and Summer Specials
(4k pic attached!)

1. Devlog, and Summary or Confirmation of 2021 plans.

0.20 coding goes as expected, and I can confirm I plan to include all the extra content on this update (Gypsy camp, Penketh, etc). As days pass, the number of animations and renders of this update keeps increasing (as I guessed: probably more than 60 animations just right now, as I'm still finishing some of the secondary storylines while coding the main story.

So between some of my plans, I'm going to go with the Big Updates one: Include most content possible on each update in order to close well all Chapter 2 and be working or releasing Chapter 3 by the end of the year.

The good thing in this update is that is quite easier to code than 0.15 (that had a hellish logic to code), and this one only takes times just by sheer size, so I'm excited with the content.

So Confirmation of my plans...:

Just a summary for those who may be jumping in the train right now.
We're on the original plans; This year we close Chapter 2 and with a bit of luck we'll close Chapter 3 too. If I make the biggest updates possible, that will mean 3 updates before the end of year, for a total of at least 6 hours of additional content finishing all Chapter 2 unfinished stories and we put ourselves in the start of the second part of the game (Chapters 4 to 6),

We'll seat then on an around BFL first part of 20 hours of lenght, thing that is quite fancy already for a single player game so everything will be under my initial expectations.

(so basically 2021 will have 3 big updates beyond the little update of the start of the year;, -0.20 Kaelkirk/Gypsy/Penketh big update,
- Next Update Grassmere and Chapter 2 Epilogue Big Update,
- And then, Chapter 3 full update.


2. Summer Specials! (Polls and renders)

This one is a first, or a preview if you want. While I keep coding 0.20, released it, we tested, start working on next big Grassmere Update, I'll be making Summer Specials renders for a series of girls. I'll leave a poll here (Brigand Tier+), and I'll be releasing those specials of various images in the most voted order along this summer ;)



I hope the best for you in this new Summer, that is going to be for sure quite better than thepast one, and I'll keep on the chopping block of code and renders trying to bring you the best 0.20 that my mind is capable of imagining ;)

Game seems interesting so far, but I gotta ask: is there currently any sex in game with Minerva? Or is it limited to the titfuck scene?

I last played 0.19e. but my system couldnt load the Pirate Cove scene from Hartlepool(seems the VRAM consumption was too big). Has there been any changes on this?

Intel i3 6th Gen 4GB RAM Integrated graphics
If it's technically possible (free memory slot), I would advice upgrade RAM to 8GB.
I remember from my testing that 64-bit version of 0.19e could consume over 5GB of RAM.

Btw, with two memory sticks (dual channel) integrated graphics should be significantly faster as well.

New Romance Menus Preview
1. New Romance Menu Preview

As you know my plans are to have all menus on a definitive good look and functionality by Chapter 3 release.

The new Romance Menu, the Romance tracker, features a set of submenus for every girl or related group of girls.

The Menu is quite self-explanatory by the previews provided; It is going to be more or less spoiler explicit in some cases, and will have enough information to be compared to a Quest Tracker but just for the Romances. (So in the spoiler territory, those who don't want to get any can just leave it for when they're lost on how to progress. anyway, as always, until the stories are finished, it is always possible to find bugs on the romance progress but as I'm going to add them slowly, I hope to avoid that)

The new Romance Menus require a lot of time as everyone is customized to its needs, so in order to not put much time of 0.20 coding time on it, for now it will only add a bit of them (specially some hard girl paths hard to follow).

(By much time I mean that convert all girls to the new romance menu is various week of just working on that) So we'll get just a preview of it on 0.20, at the same time such girls start dissapearing from the old romance menu.)

2. About general progress on 0.20

It's hard to avoid that some patreons are a bit impatient (And that stress me). So just to make things clear. Release plan for 0.20 it's been always mid to late july. I've been only coding for a month (0.15 took a month and half of just coding), and even if 0.20 coding is easier (0.15 was quite hard and complex), 0.20 coding is long as have a lot of stuff (both the longest update in stills and animations by a far shot, and lot of logic recoding to add the Camp Hub, Romance menus, etc).

So plan its, as said, to release in late July unless I can do a partial release for Beta Testers first. So please, don't add me stress being impatient!! I'm stressed enough :p I have a complex life and I work in the game as much as I can.

3. Remember!

Btw, I remember you about the Summer Specials poll for Brigand+ tier, the poll is still going on and it will comprehend all special renders for all summer.

As I'm having problems choosing spoiler-previews, probably next post will be the second summer special preview with the data already gathered by the poll.

See you soon and remember that I'm most of the time on Discord ready to answer any question!
